From: Brandon Rubeo — Skills Coach & Co-Founder | Quest Hockey
Escape pressure behind the net and turn it into offense.
This sequence trains players to retrieve a loose puck, shake a forechecker with a tight net escape, and transition immediately into a deceptive shooting opportunity. The drill blends puck protection, deception, and quick offensive transition.
